Drowsiness, Distress after sating. Pain in the Side, &c. While their most (emarkable success has been shown in curing. Headache, yet Carter's Little Liver Pills are equally valuable in Constipation, curing and preventing this annoying complaint, while they also correct all disorders of tne stomach, stimulate the liver and regulate the bowels. Even if they only cured Ache they would be almost priceless to those who suffer from this distressing complaint; but fortunately their goodness does not end here, and tlxufe who once try them will firtd these little pills valuable in so many ways that they will not be willing to do without them. But after all sick head ' is the bane of so many lives that here is where we make our great bpast. Our pills cure it while others do not. ' Carter's Little Li vkr Pills are very small and very easy to take. One or two pills make a dose. They are strictly vegetable and do not gripe or puree, but by their gentle actios olease all who use them. In vials at 35 cents; Ive for $1 .

STATE PRESS. The Journal has been charged with advocating Bourbon democracy. That brand of democracy is like another brand. It is best unmixed, and we plead guilty to the soft impeachment. Winston Journal. .The big New 1 York papers are full of scandal and "sensational articles and pictures of "vice in all its forms. The solid good people are becoming disgust ed with this modern style of journal ism, we are glad to know. Mt. Airy News. We were more convinced than ever that motives from clear-cut convicitnos of . principle entered into the work of very few of the leaders whose combina tion machine now has control of the state. They had an eye on the main chance, and in most cases worked for number one. The whole sixty days of the legislature was devoted to much of that kind of work. Scotland Neck Commonwealth. Most people-, and The Landmark along with them, have been under the impression that when the governor par doned a man out rof the penitentiary the mere act of granting the pardon restored the subject to cityzenship. A lawyer informs us that such is not the case.- Thus the statement in a -recent issue of this paper, made on authority considered perfectly reliable, that Gov ernor Russell was pardoning colored convicts just before their terms ex pired in order to restore them to citi zenship proves to be an error. The Landmark neyer purposely does any body an injusttice and we make this correction gladly. Statesville. Land mark. Colonel A. K. McClue, speaking at Charleston, S. C, recently, said: "One has heard lately much regarding free silver legislation .' intended to benefit a few little pocket" states. Why should South Carolina want free silver? Why should she want to legislate for the benefit of the west?" Let. us put this question in a form more agreeable to the provisions of 'the golden rule: Why should South Carolina not want to leg islate for the , benefit of the west, es pecially if rshe was thereby benefitting herself? "The west" is in the United States; why should that section be re ferred to by Colonel McClure as not Worthy to be helped if help it needs and if help is what it is entitled to. rather than to adverse legislation? Now as to "pocket states." The phrase as used by Colonel McClure is evidently meant to belittle. Colorado is one of those states. In 1893 her miners pro duced about $15,000,000 worth of pre cious metals and its agricultural pro duct was worth somewhat more than that amount. Since 1893 that precious metal product has declined in value and fallen off in amount. If South Carolina could legislate to remove the adverse legislation that brought about that de preciation she would be in better bus iness than Colonel McClure when he reflects on a section as much entitled to respect - and fair treatment as any other in the Union.

Harrison, a well-known and highly respected citizen of Cleve land, O., was for years a sufferer from dyspepsia and general debility, and in his weakened condition, resulting from the above causes, he had the additional ill-luck to fall a victim to malaria from this complication of disorders. Mrs Harrison's condition was becoming very, serious, when he commenced.to take P. P. P., Lippman's Great Remedy. Its effects were marked and immediate. Read his letter to us.

A . few days ago a certain prominent lawyer of this rannt-ir wast -rising to make a speech 'before a mag istrate in hehalf of a negro client when the latter stopped him and calling him aside forced something into his pocket. The lawyer, thinking prohahly that it was a roll of bills, smiled and went: on w'ith his speech, makffig- such a power ful plea that his client was acquitted easily. Then the lawyer gleefully felt iri his pocket for the roT) cf hank notes; but when he puUed out a rabbit foot his wrath broke forth and the only thing that saved his client was fear of being fined for contempt of court. The negro was like most of hJs race, superstitious, and had hoodooeki his. attorney. Charlotte News: 'Mr. Robert MoLain, a machinist in the employ of the Lid dell company, was hadly burned this morning while welding a piece of ma chinery. A piece of the red hot metal struck him in the right eye, glueing the eyelids together, hut fortunately it did not strike the ball. Those Who were waiting around the Southern sta tion last night when the Charlotte, Co lumbia and Augusta train pulled in were repaid for their wait, for they had an opportunity of seeing William Jennings Bryan, who Was ; returning from a trip to Florida. A ' News re porter had the pleasure of a long chat with Mr. Bryan on the train from Co lumhia. He was not able to sit up, having suffered painful injuries from the fall of a platform in St. Augustine the other day. 'Mr. Bryan has a had cut over the right eyelid, a big hruise on the right side df the forehead, and both of his limbs were more or less scraped in the fall. The injury that 'Mr. Bryan seem's to th'ink 'the moSt se rious was just above the heart. At the time of the fall he&had a small silver watch case in his vest pocket. He fell on a. large stone and the case was badly smashed, Inflicting a had bruise. At first he thought that -several ribs were broken,' hut on exami nation it Was found that it only amounted -to a severe bruise. ' Winston Sentinel: Jim Moir. color ed, alias Deely, Was arrested late Sat urday afternoon on suspicion of being he party who assaulted Honney, the Syrian, last Thursday night.

A 3-year-OId child ' of a Mr. Knight, living in Broadway township, a few miles east of Winston, fell in a well thirty-two feet, deep Saturday. There was no wate- m it. It was three hours before the little one 'aias gotten out by (Messrs. W. H. Smith and Chas. Stuart. The Child, with others, was playing around the well which was cov ered with plank, in stepping on a plank it broke. The little one did not appear to 'be hurt when flrst taken out, hut yesterday It was nnable to walk. -The Sentinel printed a, telegram Saturday giving some of the particu lars regarding the trouble the engin eer and 'fireman on the northlbound vestibule, near Thomasville, had with fwo tramps Friday night. 'The fire man was Mr. J. T. Davenport, a broth er of our townsman, Mr. sflrnest Dav enport, it was 'between a ana z o ciook and the train Was running at the rate of 40 miles an hour when a young white man crawled over the tender Of the engine. He had a long, dangerous looking knife in his hand. The fireman called to the man to know what he wanted. Without replying, the latter continued to advance, and made to wards 'Engineer Bryant. Fireman Davenport waited nnt'il the. intruder was in reach, and intercepted hrm. The stranger showed tight. Big Fireman Davenport hit him and piled him over the coal gate of the tender. The man gathered himself and again advanced on the fireman. Again he Was knocked down. 'He arose the Second tlmo. and with an oath rushed! at Davenport With his gleaming knife. The latter was thoroughly aroused, and pounced upon his antagonist, sending him again to the floor. He then caught the stranger about the body and ejected him head long from the moving train down an embankment. While this i encounter was in progress, tne engineer naa od- served another head appeared abov the rear of the tender, and had fired one shot at it. wotning more was seen of that head. The train continued on its way to Oreensboro, where the first man Fireman Davenport saw was his late antagonist. After Ibeing thrown from the train, which had slowed up during the fight, the man had evident ly managed to catch the rear car. Ef forts were imade to have the man ar rested at Greensboro, but he disappeared. mmHGTOIt UAEKETS. COTTON REPORTS.- Wilmington, N. C, April 141 ' Receipts of cotton today 33 bales.

Raports of the Trial Board on the Test of the Wilmington and the Helena Big Bonus Earned by Each., Washington, April 14.-The naval trial board has just submitted to the navy department the report of the trial trip of the two gunboats Wilmington and Helena, built by the Newport News Shipbuilding Company. The Wilmington was tried first on March 2lst on. the Long Island sound course. On the way north, from Newr port News to New London, sne en countered a long swell, in which she rolled easily with a maximum inclina tion of 27 degrees, which was much di minished when the swell was taken abaftithe SDeed of two points ahead. The trial was run March 27th in fair weather and with a smooth sea. ine time made over the entire course of fifty-four knots was 3 hours, 35 minutes and 54 seconds. With corrections for tides this amounted to an average speed of 15,0756 knots. The board says the steering gear worked well and that the vessel showed excellent turning aualities. She was strong enough to carry all her weights and the machin ery was fully -up to the contract re quirements. Altogether the shiD was in excellent condition and nothing re-S mained to be done on her except to place a few fittings. The machinery was about eleven tons in excess 01 tne con tract weight. The manoeuvering qual ities were good, though there was some tendency to yaw In a heavy swell. The board made substantially the same report jn tne case 01 tne sisier shiD. Helena, which was tried over tne same course two days later, although her speed was 15.4971 knots. The ves sels being designed for thirteen knots. a bonus pf excess speed amounting in the case 1 of the Wilmington to 41,5UU and in the case of the Helena to 4. 940, will be paid.

Bundy, a colored lad of Cincinnati, to a cadetship at Annapolis. He has been urged to withdraw the name, .but says he will stand by the appointment. There have been some murmurs of disapproval from the. naval academy and threafs of the students to resign. 'The boy earned the appointment fair ly," said General Shattuc today. "There was a competitive examination and two colored lads, one cf them Bundy, out stripped their Caucusian competitors. One of them, however, proved to De over 20 years of- age and was, therefore, dis barred. I had told them the competition was open to every eligible boy In my dis trict. Bundy, who won, is one or tne handsomest boys I ever saw. Yesterday I sent his name to tne secretary 01 tne navy and he will be appointed. I have received no communication from the students at Annapolis on the subject, but several congressmen have tola me that It was an unwritten law not- to allow a colored boy at Annapolis. They told me If I persisted it would Dreaa up tne scnooi; that the other students - would resign. " 'Let them resignand be damned,' I re plied. 'That boy earned his appointment fairly and I'm going to' see that he goes to Anapolls and receives fair treatment if It is in my power to do so." " General Shattuc says that if the lad Is willing to subject himself to the hu miliation he will naturally encounter at Annapolis, owing to his color he (Shattuc) will see him through. General Shattuc says he has been Informed that no color ed boy ever graduated at the naval acade my. He says he has 7,500 negroes in his district. 1 To Force maintain a Prof. Sylvester's Absentmindedness.
